Android Studio：如何从搜索和其他功能中排除文档文件夹？

Question

I have a huge auto-generated documentation folder in my Android project.

Unfortunately, all the auto-generated doc files clutter the refactoring and search functionality of Android Studio (eg rename, find references, search and replace).

An obvious solution would be to move the entire Android Studio project to a subfolder of the git repo, but I want to avoid this route.

How can I make Android Studio ignore a selected documentation folder?

I have one more requirement: The solution must work for all fellow developers who clone the repo. I do not want any configuration that must be manually applied for each developer machine.

The following snippet works for Android Studio 3.5. Put this into your root level build.gradle :

apply plugin: 'idea'
idea {
    module {
        excludeDirs += file('mydocfolder')
    }
}

Then sync with gradle and mydocfolder should appear in a different color in the project view. Note that excludeDirs.add(file('mydocfolder')) does not work.
